Abstract |
Introduction |
The number of requests for Essure removal has grown continually over recent years. The objective is to describe the symptoms reported after Essure sterilization, methods of removal and results.
Material and methods |
Retrospective and single-centre cohort (Regional university hospital of Lille, France) was conducted. All women, having consulted from December 2016 to February 2019 for symptoms related to Essure insertion, were included. All the symptoms were noted. A second group was created that included patients who underwent Essure removal to evaluate the benefits of surgery on these symptoms.
Results |
The study included 98 patients. Most frequent symptoms were musculoskeletal pain (75 %), asthenia (63 %) and pelvic pain (55 %). Fifty-nine patients (60 %) underwent surgery. Surgery appeared beneficial with reduction of symptoms in 60 % of these patients, complete resolution in 33 % and no reduction of symptoms in 7%. Many symptoms were relieved by surgery with an overall decline of 96 % in menorrhagia, 94 % in metrorrhagia and 93 % in dyspareunia. However, other symptoms were not relieved by surgery like 100 % of sleep disorders, 70 % of abdominal pain cases and 57 % of memory impairment cases.
Conclusion |
Symptoms related to Essure insertion are numerous. Although surgery appears beneficial, some adverse effects remain. Therefore, a preoperative aetiologic assessment and information about risk of surgery failure are important.
